Lyrics Hanging by Strands - The Verlaines

Hanging by Strands

I march with you beating 2−4 time
You want me to waltz but it don’t feel right
So why do I continue?
Well who said love was an arm-chair ride?
Tip me forward and let me slide
But there’s no malice in you
Though it sometimes gets too hard to tell
I couldn’t believe you weren’t putting me on
Cause how could I make all your demons gone?
Though the heaven’s blue and it’s vaulted wide
And every breath you take takes mine
You gotta see that it’s no good leaving it up to me
To make you happy
I couldn’t guarantee that I wouldn’t do wrong
Not sure what it is I’d be saving you from
Though the heaven’s blue and it’s vaulted wide
And every breath you take takes mine
You gotta see that it’s no good leaving it up to me
To make you happy
I drink with you and it all tastes fine
Say I’ll be yours as long as you’ll be mine
I give you clouds to cling to
I’ll dance with you beautiful time
You are on the walls but don’t be right
So why you are pretending
Simply gets too hard to tell
Simply gets too hard to tell
Simply gets too hard to tell
